Governor Reynolds orders flags at half-staff for Patriot Day -
Governor Kim Reynolds ordered all flags at half-staff from sunrise to sunset in Iowa on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, in honor of Patriot Day and in memory of those who lost their lives in the September 11th terrorist attacks. This year marks the 23rd Memorial of 9/11. Nearly 3,000 Americans died in the national tragedy, including hundreds of first responders who ran in to save the victims of an evil, unspeakable attack on innocent people. We stand with every American on Patriot Day to honor and forever remember the thousands who senselessly lost their lives and their families who will always long for their loved ones. You will never be forgotten. Flags will be at half-staff on the State Capitol Building and on flag displays in the Capitol Complex. Flags will also be half-staff on all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of time as a sign of respect.
